Taylor Lake Village City Council on Wednesday voted unanimously to propose a 2012 tax rate of $0.3486 per $100 valuation, maintaining the same rate as 2011.

The rate is below the city's effective tax rate, or what would be required to draw revenues equal to the previous fiscal year, which was $0.3602 per $100 valuation. The city will consider an ordinance formally adopting the tax rate at a future date.

The city council voted unanimously to approve an interlocal agreement with the City of El Lago to operate and fund the Lakeview Police Department.
